Best Interactive Toys for Cats of 2025

"I bought two of these for my kitties, and within minutes of turning them on, all my cats were in hunting mode. They were entertained for over an hour! The battery lasts a long time, and I love that it’s rechargeable. However, it doesn’t run well on carpet, but that’s not an issue for me since I only have one carpeted room."

"I got this toy for my two cats, and while one loves it, the other was initially scared. It does a great job of getting itself out of tight spaces, but it’s a bit loud when it bumps into things. Overall, it holds up well with use, and I appreciate that it works as advertised."

"I just received this cat toy, and it worked incredibly well right out of the box. My cat was a bit unsure at first but became obsessed after a few minutes! Cleaning it is a breeze, and I think it’s a great deal for the price. If you have multiple cats, I highly recommend getting more than one to avoid any playtime conflicts."

“My cats absolutely adore this toy! I was surprised at how quickly they took to it. They play with it multiple times a day, and sometimes I even hear them having fun with it during the night.”

“I can’t believe how much my rescue kitten enjoys chasing the balls! It’s so well made, and the price was fantastic! This toy is fun for everyone, including me as I watch her play.”

“This toy is a hit with my senior cat! She doesn’t have to chase the balls, yet she still has a great time playing. It definitely made her Christmas extra special this year.”

"I have two cats, and one of them is obsessed with chasing ice cubes. These springs are perfect as they zoom across the floor without leaving puddles. With 12 springs, I can always have a new set ready when one goes missing. Plus, my other cat enjoys them too! They've held up well against my cat's enthusiastic play!"

"My kitty is absolutely in love with these springs! She carries them everywhere and enjoys playing fetch. Watching her chase after them is so much fun, and it's worth every penny!"

"These springs have made my cats go wild with excitement! They spend countless hours batting and chasing them. The colors are vibrant, and they are really sturdy, providing endless fun for my playful kitties!"

"I've owned various automatic laser toys, and this one is by far the best. The random motion really captures my cat's attention, and even when he's not chasing it, he enjoys watching. The different modes are fantastic—we usually use the pink mode that runs for 12 hours, turning on for 5 minutes when it senses motion. Plus, the battery life is impressive!"

"The Potaroma Smart Sensor Laser Toy has been a real game-changer for my pets. Both my cat and dog love chasing the laser's random trajectory, keeping them active. The motion-activated feature is brilliant—it feels like personalized playtime. I also appreciate the sleek design that fits in with my decor and the fact that it's rechargeable!"

"I got this toy for my bored kitty since I work from home and can't play with him all day. He absolutely loves it! However, after three weeks, the laser stopped moving, which was disappointing. I tried everything to fix it, but it's just not working anymore. It truly was a Godsend before it stopped!"

"My cat has lots of energy and sometimes I just need a distraction. This puzzle feeder is great for food-motivated cats, and the quality is good. It slides well and is a good size for treats. The different levels keep him entertained."

"I bought this for my cat because she was getting bored with her simple feeder. She loves this puzzle and enjoys finding the treats. It took her a bit longer to figure it out, but now she can get a treat with one sweep of her paw."

"This is the second Cat Stages toy I've bought for my cat. The toy is well made and robust with three different types of puzzles. It takes my cat 10-15 minutes to figure it out, and I really appreciate that it’s easy to set up and clean."

"I recently purchased the YVE LIFE Laser Cat Toy for my indoor cats, and it has been a fantastic addition to their playtime. The toy features a real random trajectory, keeping my cats engaged and entertained for hours. The motion-activated sensor is a great feature, as it only turns on when my cats are nearby, saving battery life and ensuring they get plenty of exercise. The three speed modes are perfect for catering to my cats' different energy levels. Overall, the YVE LIFE Laser Cat Toy has exceeded my expectations!"

"I have two adult cats and one energetic kitten, and this toy is great! It's easy to set up, lightweight, and quiet. All three cats love it, and it's a steal for 19.99! It has nice features like motion speed and angle adjustments, motion sensor, and a hibernation mode. I feel it’s very safe and durable."

"My cats cannot get enough of this toy! I love the sleep function for when I'm resting, as it keeps them entertained without disturbing me. The product is quiet, and my cats have a blast. It's a good price and has a cute design!"

“I was initially skeptical about spending just $4.99, but once I opened the toy, I was pleasantly surprised by its durability. My cats absolutely love it, and it’s so lightweight for them to play with!”

“My older cat, who tires easily, was captivated by the fluttering butterfly. He played longer with this toy than any other we’ve tried. I even ordered a second one for my ‘grand cats’. The price is so reasonable too; I highly recommend it!”

“While I found the toy's design super cute and well-made, I was disappointed by its small size. It seems best suited for kittens rather than my larger cats. However, the customer service was excellent when I had questions!”

"I bought this for my daughter's cat for Christmas, and he loves it! I highly recommend this toy! Fast shipping too!"

"Initially skeptical, I got this for my roommate's cat. He played for hours! Even without treats, it's super fun!"

"I have two cats, and neither showed interest in this toy. I spent a lot of time trying to engage them but felt like I was just wasting my time."

"I appreciate the reasonable price and that it comes with two lights. The rechargeable feature makes it easy to use, and my cats absolutely love them!"

"My cats enjoy chasing the laser light, providing great enrichment and exercise. The rechargeable aspect means no extra costs for batteries. I'm very satisfied with my purchase!"

"These lasers are so much better than what I’ve seen in stores. I love that you don’t have to hold down the button and that they are rechargeable. I would definitely recommend them!"

"I read about 100 reviews before purchasing this product. As a grad student, I was cautious about spending money. I have a 4-month-old kitten, Kiki, and I’ve had this for 24 hours. Contrary to my expectations, this is not an exercise ball. Kiki uses her paws and nose to interact with it, which I find beneficial because it prevents her from dropping food in hard-to-reach places. I filled it with 1/2 cup of her dry kitten kibble and she figured it out without any issues!"

"My cat found this product to be fun and enriching, though he needed some encouragement to use it. Since he is used to being pampered, he didn't take to it right away. However, once he did, it worked really well!"

"Gracias a este producto, mi gato se entretiene con la comida, y la mejor parte es que come lento. Desafortunadamente, mi otro gato no le gustó, ya que no entiende cómo funciona."
